Two-time major champion Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 due to the same foot injury that caused him to pull out of last weekend's LIV Golf League event in Houston.

The 2021 U.S. Open winner posted a statement on X announcing his decision.

“After consulting with numerous doctors and my team, I have decided it is best for my long term health, to withdraw from this weeks US Open Championship. To say I’m disappointed is a massive understatement! I wish all my peers the best of luck and want to thank all of the USGA staff, volunteers and community of Pinehurst for hosting and putting on what I’m sure will be an amazing championship! Hopefully I'll be back in action sooner than later!”

Earlier on Tuesday, Rahm voiced “concern” about the injury in his pre-tournament press conference.

“Oh, it's a concern. It's doing better. It's doing better. But definitely still in pain.”

“We've been trying to figure it out because I think that the closest term would be a lesion on the skin. If I were to show you, it's a little low in between my pinky toe and the next toe. I don't know how or what happened, but it got infected. The pain was high. On the Saturday round, Saturday morning, I did get a shot to numb the area. It was supposed to last the whole round, and by my second hole I was in pain already.

“The infection was the worrisome part. The infection is now controlled, but there's still swelling and there's still pain. There's a reason I walked out here in a shoe and a flip-flop, trying to keep the area dry and trying to get that to heal as soon as possible. But I can only do what I can do. The human body can only work so fast.”

The 2023 Masters champion finished T45 at Augusta National, missed the cut at the PGA Championship, and is now out of the U.S. Open. He's still seeking his first individual win on LIV, though both he and his team (Legion XIII) are second in the individual and team standings, respectively.

“I'm in a happy place,” Rahm said Tuesday, before his WD. “It's not like I've been playing bad, even though a lot of you make it sound like I'm playing bad. I had two bad weeks … I've been top 10 and had a chance to win in most of the tournaments I've played, and then unfortunately Augusta and PGA wasn't my best showings. But yeah, I'm happy.”

Rahm was slated to play the first two rounds at Pinehurst No. 2 with two other green jacket winners, Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth.

LIV Golf will head to Nashville on June 21-23 before swinging by Rahm's home country, for LIV Andalucia (July 12-14). The final major of the year, the Open Championship, begins on July 18 at Royal Troon.
